XP has a tendency not to like MsConfig. But I have found most of the
products that are not MS related have options within the programs themselves
to not load up at start up. Check each program in their options. Also,
click start, and on the menu you should have a folder called Startup. What
I do with these items is create a new folder called deleted startup items
and drag and drop the items from startup into new folder. Whatever is
remaining that you cannot get rid of, you can go through msconfig, making
sure you don't delete something you really really need. When you reboot
it's going to give you that message again, there should be a little box that
says something to the point of "don't show message again" click that and
just exit out.

At splash screen you need to click F8 to enter safe mode, and delete to
enter Bios, but some machines are different. What I do is just keep tapping
the button till it does what I want it to do, cause if you don't get it at
that right second you have to reboot and try again.
